"Happiness is by your side" Sixth lesson, heart-to-heart action [Harvard University "Happiness course" essence]

• 1. Do what you want

  Harvard University conducted a survey on the life goals of a group of college graduates. The results are as follows: 27% of students with no goals; 60% of students with vague life goals; 10% of people with clear and short-term goals and 3% of people with clear and long-term goals. After 25 years, Harvard University once again conducted a follow-up survey on these students. The result was that 3% of the students had been working towards one goal during the past 25 years, almost all of them eventually became successful people, industry leaders, and social elites from all walks of life. In those years, 10% of them achieved their short-term goals and became professionals in various fields, most of them live in the middle and upper layers of society. Most of those 60% people had stable jobs and lived a stable life, but they did not have any special achievements. Almost all of them lived in the middle and lower layers of society; the remaining 27% of people have no goals in life, and are still complaining about others, complaining that society does not give them a chance.

  Visible,If you have a target, you may not succeed.Boen Cui Xi said :"Success is the achievement of the goal. Others are comments of this sentence.. "Top-level successful people succeed only when they set their goals, rather than when they succeed.
  
  Mike Johnson is an American Sprite. to challenge the limits of human physical fitness, he suffered various setbacks on his way to success and experienced two Olympic failures. However, he did not give up his goal of becoming a world champion, so he will continue to work hard whenever he encounters major setbacks and difficulties, because he firmly believes that, you must be able to stand up again. During the 400-meter race of the Atlanta Olympics, a reporter described the wonderful scene at that time as follows: "When the gunshots sounded, he flew away, in a short time, we will leave all the contestants behind. He paid special attention to the runway. The noise of the audience seemed to fade away from his ears, and other contestants seemed to be absent. There was only the runway at his feet, there was a natural cycle in his mind, and he concentrated on his goal. "Finally, he finally won the championship and stood on the long-awaited podium.

  If you think that only special important people have goals, you will never be able to surpass mediocre roles. Because, in life, each of us has the right to dream. It is a simple and exciting thing to have a dream, and the goal is what we want to achieve. If people have no goals, they will not make progress, nor take any practical steps. For the moment, if we don't talk about people having to have a long-term goal, let's take the simplest thing: if you don't have a clear goal today, you have nothing to do, today, you will be confused, and the only thing you get is nothing. Similarly, if a person does not have a clear goal, it is difficult for him to have a complete life plan. It is conceivable that his life will be as valuable as the day.

  PairYour life is responsible for what everyone should do. You either make efforts for your goals, or you do not have to pay anything. You either take the initiative to master this process, you can either follow the scenes or listen to your destiny.When you set goals, the key point is to pursue a dream that you believe is worth pursuing. Only you know what you want, and by setting realistic and feasible goals that can be achieved, you can avoid setbacks. The realization of every small goal will make you more confident.

  Boen Cui Xi is a world-class master of efficiency improvement. He once said :"The most important thing to success is to know what you really want. The primary cause of success is to develop a clear, specific, and measurable set of goals and plans. "

  Each of us is eager for happiness and success, where we want to go. However, to succeed, you must achieve your own goals or fulfill your wishes. Otherwise, success cannot be achieved. Success is to achieve meaningful goals. There is such a phenomenon in this world, that is"Target users are achieving the target.". Because a person without a goal is like a ship without a compass and does not know the way forward. A person with a clear and specific goal can have a clear direction like a ship with a compass. In the vast sea, ships without directions only follow the ships with directions.

• 2. Dare to try, not afraid of failure

  " A hopeless thing, as long as you dare to try, it is often successful . "

  there is a story: many beer merchants believe it is difficult to open the beer market in Brussels, Belgium. This is also true for the first "Harrow" beer factory.

  at that time, the market share of the Harrow beer factory was gradually decreasing, while the beer factory had no money, so it was impossible to advertise on TV or newspaper. Even though sales clerk Linda had repeatedly suggested the Director to do some advertisement, he was rejected by the Director. Later, Linda decided to take the risk of doing this, so he made a loan to someone else to contract the sale of the beer factory. However, how to open the market, how to advertise has become a heart disease for Linda. Just as he hovered in the city center of Brussels, he inadvertently saw a peat boy in the center of the square watering down the fuse of the enemy bombing city with his own urine and saving the little hero of the city. Linda suddenly came up with an idea that he decided to do something he had never done before.

  early the next morning, people in the square found that the urine of the statue of Yu Lian was changed from water to a golden, transparent, bubble-like "Harrow" beer. There is a billboard that says "Hello Beer free tasting. Such innovative things were immediately spread throughout the city, and people in all directions in the city gathered here to pick up beer with their own bottles and cans. The major media are scrambling to report this wonder.

  in that year, beer sales in the factory increased by nearly 20 times. The young man Linda made a sensation throughout Europe and became a sales expert in Brussels. It can be said that Linda's success lies in his unique creative ad. I did something that someone else has never done.

  Give yourself some courage in your life. you can say, one of the biggest advantages of having the courage to step into the fields that others are not involved in is that they are not competitive. As long as you can overcome the impact of the environment in this field, it is basically successful, because there are no traps set up by others in areas that you are not involved in, and you do not need to worry about others' advantages. , you can do things in a leisurely and practical manner until you have done things successfully.

• 3. Enthusiasm

  With enthusiasm, life is filled with miracles :"Without enthusiasm, nothing great can be done in the world. "Indeed, enthusiasm is a state, the motive force behind a person's success, and the source of a person's career achievements. Enthusiasm is an indispensable condition for both being human beings and doing things. Enthusiasm is like an energy in which an engine emits light and machines, it can inspire people to wake up their sleeping potential, talents, and vitality. It can drive people and guide people to a bright future. In English,The word "enthusiasm" is composed of two Greek roots, one being "inner" and the other being "God ". That is to say, enthusiasm is a positive attitude expressed by a person who has a strong interest in his or her career.
  
  The theory of positive psychology also tells us:In general, the more we are interested in, the more we can use our talents. doing these things makes sense and makes us happy. We usually devote more enthusiasm to things we are interested in and work harder. Without enthusiasm, the motivation will be weakened. with enthusiasm, the motivation will not only be firm, but also improve the efficiency.
  
  From this we can see that a passionate person is like a god in his heart. The same job is also done by you. With enthusiasm and enthusiasm, the effect is completely different. If your heart is always full of passion, then you will be full of strength in what you do. On the contrary, a person without passion cannot be consistent, let alone expect him to make any proud achievements. Obviously, it is vital to cultivate enthusiasm.

  "Show others your enthusiasm". Enthusiasm made Shakespeare pick up his pen and write down their burning thoughts on the leaves. Enthusiasm made Columbus overcome the difficulties and obstacles and enjoyed the fresh morning in the Bahamas. Enthusiasm made people dig out their swords, brave enough to fight for freedom; enthusiasm makes the woodman raise his ax and stick to the path of mankind's civilization; enthusiasm makes GALILEO raise his telescope, and the whole world is shocked. With enthusiasm, people are constantly changing and creating the world.

  In modern enterprises, you need to work with enthusiasm. Enthusiastic employees are the pioneers of this enterprise army. In the face of any difficulties, with this enthusiastic team, everything can be solved. In the workplace, as long as you have a great deal of enthusiasm for your work and let people see your work enthusiasm, even if you do not have super talent, you will still have many chances of success in the workplace. It is not difficult to give yourself such enthusiasm for work,Bill Gates said this: "Two excellent qualities of a good employee-the same experience of the elderly and curiosity of the children. "Employees in the workplace can be enthusiastic at work and constantly explore and innovate only by keeping a curiosity like a young child.

  As we all know, almost all of Europe has been conquered by Napoleon. However, it takes only two weeks for him to launch a battle. If it is changed to another, it will not be possible. The difference may be due to his unparalleled enthusiasm! All the defeated ordians were stunned and they had to praise those opponents who crossed the Alps: "They are not human, they are flying animals. "Napoleon's ideal is full of passion for conquering everything that can be made possible, and every soldier under his control is filled with enthusiasm for victory, follow him closely, from one victory to another. Wherever Napoleon went, thousands of people gathered and spontaneously organized to welcome his residents. Even an unrelated bystander had to be infected by the warmth of the time.

  It can be said that,Enthusiasm is the greatest fortune in the world.Without it, nothing great in the world can be done. Enthusiasm, which can inspire people to wake up their sleeping potential, talents, and vitality. It is a motivation to move forward toward the goal, and it is also a kind of strength from the heart. In fact, each of us has enthusiasm. What's different is that some people's enthusiasm can be sustained for 30 minutes, and some people can stay for 30 days, but a successful person can keep his passion for 30 years.
